Description
Summary:Herbarium is a scientific collection, formed by dried plant samples from various ecosystems, serving as a record and reference on the vegetation and flora of a region. The Centro-Norte-Mato-Grossense Herbarium (CNMT) began operations in 2010 and its main objective the documentation of northern flora of Mato Grosso, as it represents a unique transition between the Cerrado and the Amazon rainforest. The instruments used in the collections are high garden shears, garden shears, and still climbing techniques to larger trees. All material is collected and incorporated into the CNMT Herbarium which has about 7.000 herbarium specimens in the collection and 200 in its dried fruit collection (carpoteca). There partnerships they are acting as collaborators in identifying material or acting directly on increasing the collection as the donation of materials and courses. The ultimate aim of the Herbarium CNMT is 100% informatization of the collection and availability of the collection online at Species Link accomplishing the goals proposed by the CBD.
